Mean Sea Level Trend
8467150 Bridgeport, Connecticut

The mean sea level trend is 2.83 millimeters/year with a 95% confidenceinterval of +/- 0.44 mm/yr based on monthly mean sea level data from
1964 to 2016 which is equivalent to a change of 0.93 feet in 100 years.

The plot shows the monthly mean sea level without the regular seasonal fluctuations due to coastal ocean temperatures, salinities, winds, atmospheric pressures, and ocean currents. The long-term linear trend is also shown, including its 95% confidence interval. The plotted values are relative to the most recent
Mean Sea Level datum established by CO-OPS. The calculated trends for all stations are available as a
table in millimeters/year and in feet/century (0.3 meters = 1 foot).

If present, solid vertical lines indicate times of any major earthquakes in the vicinity of the station and dashed vertical lines bracket any periods of questionable data or datum shift.
